Artists Block

Do you know the feeling when you can't think of anything to draw? It happens to me almost every time I try to draw, paint, or sketch something. There are many ways to over come 'artists block'. Sometimes the best thing to do is start drawing lightly, because then you can see what you do and don't like so then you can try again and only use the things you do like. 

Another way to overcome this is by trading ideas with someone else. To see someone else's  ideas might make it easier for you to come up with some ideas yourself. If this doesn't work you can try my favorite way to come up with things to draw. I like to just sit and think for a few minutes to help me organize my thoughts.  This is the most time consuming  solution but, for me, it has the best result.

    1. I love drawing things in nature like plants, landscapes and flowers (this is mostly because when ever I draw an animal it just looks horrible). And, of course, I love to doodle! What are some of your favorite things to draw?

  2. I also love to draw things in nature. Sometimes I print coloring page from the internet and try to trace it on the back. Have you ever done that?
